Thanks guys for your responses and support.

Strangely enough, my naturopath told me the other day she thinks I have an intolerance to something and she is suspecting salicylates. So I have eliminated those from my diet. The bloating gets me too and also the diarrhoea around period time...........

I've heard endo is linked to weakened immune systems (ie. asthma, sinusitis, hayfever suffers etc etc) which would explain the food intolerances.

My mother in law had endo and then a hysterectomy. Now she suffers from Fibromyalgia. She also has allergies/intolerances to certain foods. She's in her mid 60's so the technology that's around these days is a lot better than back then.
